With this on top, lockdep went silent. kernel/hrtimer/hotplug: don't wake ktimersoftd while holding the hrtimer base lock kernel/hrtimer: don't wakeup a process while holding the hrtimer base lock missed a path, namely hrtimers_dead_cpu() -> migrate_hrtimer_list(). Defer raising softirq until after base lock has been released there as well.
